(1) www.testfreaks.com
TestFreaks is an excellent cross-check review website for gadget freaks. It aggregates both expert and amateur reviews from all over the web (both from US and non-US websites) and nicely presents them in an easy-to-digest manner. There are thousands of gadgets here, including MP3 players, digital cameras, cell phones, HiFi speakers, keyboards, headsets, memory cards and so on. For each you can see a quick overview, manufacturer description, product specs, expert and user reviews, related forum threads, image gallery, video gallery and more.
I know we have mentioned a number of cool gadget review sites before, these are ExpoTV (video reviews), Swotti (quick opinions), and ReviewGist but so far TestFreaks is my favorite. Not only does it combine the features offered by other websites but also does this quite well so you won’t get overwhelmed. Definitely a website to bookmark.

88 Kelkoo http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/

MOST USEFUL WEBSITES FOR SOCIAL
(E)SOCIAL
75 Facebook http://www.facebook.com/
The most grown-up (just) of the social-networking sites that are fast taking over the world. Excellent for staying in touch with far-flung friends, though pretty good too for re-establishing contact with those you hoped you had lost.
Good old days: who needs the pub when you can socialise online?
76 Wordpress http://wordpress.com/
The quickest and easiest way to create a blog of your own.
77 Ringsurf http://www.ringsurf.com/
Like an online Mothers' Union meeting (though sometimes a little more risqué), Ringsurf is a chatroom where people exchange ideas about anything from politics to relationships. The quality is not always high, but users have been known to discover new (real-life) friends with interests they thought no one would share. A tribute to the information-sharing capability of the net.
78 bubbl.us http://www.bubbl.us/
Organise your thoughts by creating mindmaps online and sharing them with others.
79 Technorati http://www.technorati.com/
An intelligent, intuitive and inspiring way to read entries from some of the millions of blogs that dot the internet. You can browse by subject or area of interest, read the postings that are catching the world's attention and bookmark blogs that catch your attention. And if you want to join in...
80 Flickr http://www.flickr.com/
The website you graduate to once you've discovered how to put your holiday snaps on the net. Here, everyone's photos are linked by using tags, such as 'Spain', 'beach' or 'happy', which sets you off on an exploration of others' uploads.
81 BabyCentre http://www.babycentre.co.uk/
There are plenty of great parenting forums out there - Netmums, Mumsnet - but this is still the best source of considered, authoritative, often soothing advice on everything from colic to tax credits.
82 Friction TV http://www.friction.tv/
YouTube for debaters. Upload a short video about an issue close to your heart and others reply in kind or by text.

MOST USEFUL WEBSITES FOR TECHNOLOGY
Technology-
1 Google http://www.google.com/
Haven't found what you're looking for? Use our website guide to find the right information
The powerhouse of the internet and the only place many people go for information. But if you thought Google was a still a mere search engine, look again. Click on 'more' at the top of the homepage to discover the work of 'GoogleLabs' - more than 50 free tools and web pages that could change your internet life.
GoogleDocs lets you create documents, spreadsheets and presentations, store them online, share them with others and access them from wherever there's an internet connection.
Googlemail is probably the best email program - it has virtually limitless capacity and you don't need to change your email address to use it. The Google calendar is a powerful searchable diary that you can allow others to access, so family members can make appointments together.
SketchUp could be just the tool you are looking for to design that conservatory extension and see what it will look like once the builders have gone. Add to that databases for searching academic journals and books in the public domain, the powerful GoogleMaps, with its engaging satellite imagery, a finance page with live stock quotes and an easy-to-use online messaging system, and you can see why some people say Google is taking over the world - and, with GoogleMoon and GoogleMars, the rest of the galaxy, too.

HOW TO VIEW BLOCKED WEBSITES
You generally are not able to view a site because the access control list is configured in a firewall to block any attempts to site and pop-up an error message
The simplest way to overcome is to redirect the traffic - there are more than 1000 proxy servers on the net and they keep increasing everyday (so, no access control list can block all of them - if one is blocked search for other in google )
TRY THESE :
www.breakthefirewall.com
www.zend2.com
www.anonymizer.com
www.jumboproxt.net
www.vtunnel.com
http://www.myipproxylist.com/
They not only allow you to view any site by redirecting the traffic but also help you to carry out hacking .Consider an attack case
UR machine >>> Proxy 1 >>> Proxy 2>>> Proxy3... Proxy n >>> Target Machine
Now the target machine will have ip of last proxy u connected to. SO it will be impossible for them to trace you if u hack them... particularly if all the proxies belong to different countries...
